🔗 Click Around, Find Out
Click around. Or tap around. Or do whatever you need to do in the browser of your choice. If we want the indie web to flourish, the very first thing people need to get used to is actually browsing the web again.
We call them web browsers for a reason. You're meant to browse.
My sense is that the recommendation engines for articles has the same flaw as music recommendation engines that gets people stuck in a loop. i.e. When given the option to pick between "everything" you mostly end up visiting the same 5 sites or listening to the same handful of albums because there's too much choice and we can't decide. They try to get you to explore a bit, the recommendation engines don't carry the authority or weight that a friend or blog you might follow, so you're back to the usual rotation in no time.
Want to browse more but not sure where to start? Visit to ooh.directory and start clicking. You're sure to find something of interest. -
🔗 Coming of Age at the Dawn of the Social Internet
Online platforms allowed me to cultivate a freer version of myself. Then the digital world began to close off.
This tracks with my experience growing up online. AIM was good, but IRC was my gateway drug for the internet. Being able to interact with like-minded people my age across the world in real time was a real treat. Now it's the norm.
I find this move from the silos to smaller, distributed communities and platforms like Mastodon and the IndieWeb encouraging. -
🔗 I’ll never stop blogging: it’s an itch I have to scratch – and I don’t care if it’s an outdated format | Simon Reynolds
Even if nobody reads them, I’ll always be drawn to the freedom blogs offer. I can ramble about any subject I choose, says music journalist Simon Reynolds
I stopped blogging for a number of years and glad I started up a few years back. It's nice having a home on the internet and I don't see myself stopping. -
🔗 Markdown Annotations embed authorship in text while preserving its readability and portability.
Markdown Annotations embed authorship in text while preserving its readability and portability.
I don't use ChatGPT much at all, but this seems like a really cool idea for those that do...even keeping track of multiple human authors seems really useful. -
🔗 I gamified my own blog
Many platforms these days have some gamification features. One of the common features is awarding users/members/players different badges to reward their loyalty and activity in the platform.
I decided to award some to myself since I self-host my blog and have no one else to give me badges.I really like the idea of awarding yourself badges. Could be a fun plugin for Tanzawa.
